Is the song Viva La Vida really about capitalism? I think the song is about the rise and inevitable fall of capitalism. This was the “wicked wind” that “blow down the doors” and killed the Kings. “I used to roll the dice” “Next the walls were closed on me” “Sweep the streets I used to own” All these references are about Wall Street. “Revolutionaries wait, For my head on a silver plate” (Present tense) “Roman Cavalry choirs are singing” (Present tense) I think the Roman cavalry singing is a metaphor for the return of the old ways that will come when the world runs out of the resources that fuel this unsastainable consumer culture.
